City Of Burnaby Loses Bid For Pipeline Injunction

Darpan News Desk Darpan, 17 Sep, 2014 10:56 AM

VANCOUVER - A B.C. Supreme Court judge has dismissed the City of Burnaby's attempt to block Kinder Morgan from conducting pipeline survey work on its land.

The city asked the court for an injunction to keep the company from Burnaby Mountain, the preferred route for Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

The city is opposed to the expansion of the pipeline that would link the Alberta oilsands to the company's tanker terminal in Port Metro Vancouver.

That opposition escalated when the company proposed tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain, home to Simon Fraser University and a large conservation area.

The National Energy Board previously upheld the company's right to access the land, under federal law.

Earlier this month, Kinder Morgan asked the federal energy regulator to go further and forbid the city from obstructing crews.
